If we're to become more like Jesus- and the best "us" we can be-we must first understand that life's challenges don't make us who we are. They show who we are. Everyone has troubles. It's what you do with them that really matters.
God uses his creation such as horses to show his love for us. This ultimately reveals his character and how we relate to him and others. This daily devotional will show our need for a savior. How we run from God and how we can run to him. It will also give you an appreciation for horses and those that love them and care for them. With scripture leading the devotion and prayer to end, you will be encouraged. The beautiful pictures will remind you of God's glory. Highly recommend.

First of all, the pictures were great in the book! They really brought the book alive. There were many lessons shared in the book that I could relate to. Everything was pretty accurate for when Cara was sharing stories about horses and how things happen in the horse world. I found myself relating to a lot of things Cara talked about when comparing the horse world to faith and trusting in God. Some of her examples were enlightening for how they could compare to my life. The devotions were nice and short. There was just enough in the devotions to draw the reader in, but not grow bored before stopping for the day. I was disappointed to see that instead of having a list of verses listed out at the top for the day, it was already listed out or included in the reading. Overall, it was a good book to read and I would recommend it.
I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley. My opinions are my own.

What a delightful children's devotional!
Unbridled Faith by Cara Whitney is geared towards readers ages 8-12, so it's a great starter devotion for young horse fans who are beginning their journey with the Lord.
Combined with full-color photography of the horses & farm, each devo contains a Scripture Verse, Tale from Cara, and a Prayer prompt for the young reader.
As someone who grew up from a very young age thinking horses were some of the most majestic creatures -
I can say I think this will be a delightful read for children who feel the same.
I highly recommend this book for young readers!

This is a perfect devotional for teens and tweens who love horses. With personification of the wonderful animals, the author uses a scripture for each devotion, ties it to a lesson learned from the horse and how that can be applied to humans and ends with practical advice. Each devotion also includes a beautiful photo of a horse or pony, so that’s truly a bonus for young people who love horses. I am not a real horse lover myself, but I did enjoy the devotions and I know that my teen and tween grandchildren would relate to these stories and enjoy them.

An excellent devotional for late elementary and middle school readers who love horses.
I enjoyed the way scripture and biblical concepts are applied to an animal that so many youngsters are fascinated with. I remember drawing horses at that age and believe this devotional would have been an excellent way to bring the Word into my life daily.
Highly recommended.

This devotion was very simple to understand for young readers. The pictures of the horses help draw in children who may have a love for horses. The scriptures were short and yet relative o the topic of the day.

Unbridled Faith Devotions for Young Readers Is a faith-based book centered around horses. Tween readers will be drawn into the photographs of the horses paired with the riding stories. Strongly recommended for young horse-lovers everywhere.

I started Unbridled Faith back in December of last year, having received it as a Christmas present. It combines two of my favourites – faith and horses!
